I've been with Demon for more years than I care to remember.
They're not bad. DNS can be a bit sticky every now and again - but you do get
free "fax to email"!
The notice boards about status is very useful too and there is an phone number
to call to do a quick status check!
The static IP is also completely unfiltered and you can switch off their
e-mail filtering.
You only get a tiny amount of html space, though and if you put up pictures of
a recent holiday and it proves popular, you will find yourself unreachable.
The final good thing is that www.yourname.demon.co.uk is their website and
yourname.demon.co.uk is your net connection.
